Why God made Puddles

God made puddles
So mommy would say
"WALK AROUND THE PUDDLE!
...Please."
So Mommy would worry about
mud in the car
wet socks on long walks
being wet and cold

God made puddles
So Daddy would say
"DON'T SPLASH IN THE PUDDLE!
...Please."
So daddy would worry about
muddy Sundayschool clothes
wet pants and shoes
dirty hands

God made puddles
So Mommy would say
"DON'T SPLASH MOMMY!
...Please."
As she stands a few feet back
to watch her children play
after all,
home is a block away
and puddles need to be stomped in
